H.P. Lovecraft finds a new writer...

According to bloody-disgusting.com, John August has been hired by Universal Pictures to do re-writes on The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft. The project first gained buzz when Ron Howard expressed interest in directing. Mac Carter and Jeff Blitz, co-creators of the comic, wrote the previous draft...

John August is a frequent collaborator of Tim Burton's, and is currently working on Frankenweenie and Dark Shadows for the director...

About the comic: Toiling away as a timid and eccentric writer of pulp horror stories, H.P. Lovecraft, is powerless in the world...in love with a girl who doesn't love him back, mired in a profession that inspires no respect and frozen in the grip of a terrible writer's block. Until one day when everything changes. Lovecraft comes in contact with an ancient book that passes onto him an insidious curse: whenever he sleeps, his darkest nightmares come true and are loosed on the world. Suddenly, this shy and bumbling writer becomes both an unwitting god of destruction and the only man who can ﬁght the wickedness he unleashes. It's a fantastical revision of the life and work of H.P. Lovecraft, a story in the mold of the classic Universal horror movies. A weird tale indeed...
